Grespin Named to SEC Men's S&D Community Service Team
First appearance on the squad for the sophomore from Huron, Ohio
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The 2021 SEC Men’s Swimming and Diving Community Service Team was announced on Tuesday by the league office. Sophomore Andrew Grespin earned a spot on the squad for the first time in her career.
Grespin has been involved with several outreach projects in his brief time at South Carolina. He helped with a teammate’s backpack initiative project this past year as part of a massive school supplies drive at W.G. Sanders Middle School in Columbia. In total, over 7,000 items were donated. Grespin also volunteered his time with the University’s mental health department during mental health awareness week and has led the team’s efforts with the Headway Foundation, which helps provide awareness and knowledge of head injuries in sports. He spent time volunteering at Pawmetto Lifeline, a non-profit organization in the Midlands that strives to give homeless pets a new leash on life.
The Huron, Ohio, native is a public health major and earned a spot on the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll in 2020.
In the pool, Grespin is making his second appearance at the SEC Championships this week in Columbia, Mo. He will swim the 100 breast, 200 breast and 200 IM at Mizzou Aquatic Center for the Gamecocks.
